Walsh split a doubleheader with hosting Cedarville as the Cavs dropped the first game 3-0, but regrouped to win the second game 8-0 in six innings. The Cavaliers (25-13) had a two-hit shutout in their win while the Yellow Jackets (25-14) recorded a one-hit shutout in their victory.

The Cavs opened the scoring in the second game right off the bat with a pair of runs in the first inning and added another in the second. Walsh then pushed its lead to 6-0 with three in the fourth.

Marcus had a pair of RBI and scored one run, Testa had an RBI and scored two runs, and Dodson drove in two runs.

Erin Ebert (Jr., Jeromesville, OH/Hillsdale) pitched the complete game and struck out eight batters with no walks in six innings of work. She is now 11-6 on the season.
